Greetings to all from Peregrine Fairchylde, coordinator of  the
Gleann Abhann Supply Run!

Lords and ladies, it is time to  start wrapping up this effort. From
the very outset, the response was  phenomenal, and I applaud everyone
for the work they have done to  assist the people of Gleann Abhann.
Huzzah!

Now, however, it  appears that everyone's most immediate needs for
clothing, shelter and  food have been taken care of. Many 
unexepected donations wee made this  past weekend at Gleann Abhann's
First Coronation and we were unable to  give all of them away. From
all reports, we're pretty much down to  cleanup.

So, effectively immediately, the Gleann Abhann Supply Run  is NO
LONGER ACCEPTING DONATIONS of anything except gift  cards.

Many of our supply depots are still well-stocked, and we  will be
using the next month to six weeks to clear them out by  delivering
the last of the goods to those who need them. We will not  be
replenishing those depots.

For those of you who have goods on  hand you were planning to send, I
ask you to please find a local  charity to donate them to. Your
efforts and enthusiasm will not be  appreciated any less, and the
goods will still be put to use where they  are needed.

For those of you who have held fundraisers and have  monetary
contributions, please continue to purchase gift cards and send  them
to me for distribution (Eric Francis, 3322 Lamar St., Little  Rock,
AR 72205). Again, the ones we need the most are for Home  Depot,
Lowe's and Wal-Mart.

Lady Ancyra is still taking in and  distributing SCA goods. If you
are interested in donating to that  cause, please contact her first
at sisterv at brotherguido.com<mailto:sisterv at brotherguido.com>.

The  genorosity of the Known World in this relief effort has  been
staggering. In order to thank in person, in a timely fashion,  each
and every gentle who contributed in some way to the Supply Run,  I
would have to be able to violate the laws of physics (or, at  least,
seriously ignore the speed limit), so I hope this will be  accepted
in the stead of individual visits: Thank you, thank you, thank  you
-- chivalry, courtesy and service are truly alive and well in  these
Current Middle Ages!

Please cross-post this message to  other kingdom, group and local
lists, so we can make sure nobody is  planing to ship another bunch
of boxes down here!

In service to  Kingdom and Society, I remain,
Your most humble servant,
Peregrine  Fairchylde
Shire of Lagerdamm
Kingdom of Gleann  Abhann
